Sparta goalkeeper Jakub Surovčík described the period following the unfinished derby in Eden, during which he was attacked by Slavia fans. The worst day for him was the day after the match, and by his own account he now feels fine. The incident remains a central topic in the relationship between Sparta, Slavia and the fan group Tribuna Sever. denik.cz ↗

Representatives of Tribuna Sever have already held talks with Slavia's management about the unrest, and both sides declared their effort to resolve the situation so that the north stand can reopen as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Slavia received the championship trophy after a 3:0 win over Plzeň in front of a nearly empty Eden, since the final home match was affected by sanctions stemming from the derby events. irozhlas.cz ↗

After a season without a trophy, Sparta continues to make adjustments to both the squad and the coaching staff. Pavel Kadeřábek extended his contract for another year, even though he did not meet the conditions of the option for an automatic extension. Finnish coach Tim Sparv, who spent four years at Sparta in various roles, is leaving the club. Captain Lukáš Haraslín noted that the team did not win any trophy, but still has the strength for the June national team matches. eurofotbal.cz ↗

Slavia is also dealing with squad movement. Dominik Pech no longer belongs to the club, as Young Boys Bern exercised their option on his transfer. Both Prague clubs are also heading into European competitions: Slavia, as Czech champions, into the Champions League main phase, and Sparta into the third qualifying round of the non-champions section. idnes.cz ↗
